"So what made you leave teaching and become a massage therapist?"
If only I could get a free spa day for every time I am asked that question. Believe it or not, they share a number of similarities. The two most important ones being compassion and creativity. Like a classroom teacher, a massage therapist is challenged with quickly establishing a balance between leader and listener before impacting positive changes. Both therapist and teacher are expected to know their craft or subject matter. Though training is required, both paths require the intuition and flexibility to assist with meeting clients and students where they are in their healing and learning process. My studio is a classroom. My SOAP notes are lesson plans. My clients are students who expect me to inspire a healthy difference in their lives.
My business is one that supports a partnership. I consider massage a vessel for managing the physical and emotional bodies. Each session is a rhythmic call-and-response dance that requires trust and vulnerability before surrendering. There is no room on the table for egos and know-it-alls. My practice of empathy and humility help me to assess clients' needs with limited talking. My touch is strongly guided by grounding and centering. Unless clients need to talk, my sessions are often quiet. Talking is reserved for pre/post massage. And finally, I do not consider myself a therapist who "fixes" problems.
